UD Las Palmas are interested in signing Leeds United’s Rafa Mújica on a loan deal in the winter market.
The Whites striker is also keen to return to his former club after ending his loan stay at Real Oviedo.
Over the past week or so, we’ve covered various claims from Spain that explained the striker’s move to the second division Spanish club is tied to Pietro Iemmello leaving Las Palmas.
On Sunday, Las Palmas confirmed they’d reached an agreement with Benevento to end Iemmello’s loan deal.
AS have covered this news and add the Italian’s exit opens the door for the Leeds man to join Pepe Mel’s side.
Local newspaper La Provincia also has a short update on Mújica and explains the 22-year-old is ‘expected’ to arrive on deadline day to reinforce Las Palmas’ attack.
The former West Bromwich Albion manager is ready to welcome any new player coming through the club’s door before the window closes.
“It’s not about what I would like, it’s about what can be done. We can improve in many places because we are a second division team, but my job is to train the squad that UD Las Palmas put at my disposal. At the moment, we are good and excited. Whoever comes, [we will] welcome him,” Mel said.
Cope are also reporting Mújica ‘will be a new player of Las Palmas’ and ‘only the official announcement’ in missing.
It’s claimed the frontman will arrive from Leeds on a temporary deal until the end of the season and the paperwork related to the loan transfer was ‘documented on Sunday night’.
